This may cost a little, but what about bringing in an instructor to teach a one-time "study skills" class?

Honestly, in my my experience, the difference in many situations with people who didn't do well in school, was a lack of study skills. Many high schools don't teach kids HOW to study. Ideas such as memory tricks (mneumonic devices), drawing out the visuals of algebraic word problems, rewriting class notes when studying for exams, etc.

Giving your members the tools to study better is an investment in both your chapter and your members. You can make it mandatory for everyone, or mandatory for those at or below a certain GPA, and optional but suggested for the whole chapter.
